Since updating from cygwin 1.5 to 1.7, I've found rsync does not work
for me. Even when just trying to do a simple sync of two folders on
the same file system I get the error:
rsync: Failed to dup/close: Socket operation on non-socket (108)
rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at
/home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.6-1/src/rsync-3.0.6/pipe.c(147)
[receiver=3.0.6]
and then it just hangs. I have to ctrl-C to cancel it.
I've managed to track down what was causing this problem (as well as the
ssh-agent hang, see "1.7.1 ssh-agent hangs with 100% cpu").
It is being caused by the installation of version 2.7 of ESET NOD32
Anti-Virus software. I've checked version 4 and it does not cause this
problem, however if you are still using 2.7 the following work-around
exists:
1. Open the NOD32 Control Center [sic] and then select "IMON" from the
"Thread Protection Modules"
2. Click the "Setup" button.
3. Select the "Miscellaneous" tab.
4. Click the "Edit" button in the "Exclusion" group box.
5. Add c:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe. (Add c:\cygwin\bin\ssh-agent.exe too
while you're there.)
6. Click "OK" and then "OK" to save the changes and you're done.
